Morphology

TRT = T + R + T

As the name of a broadcaster (Turkish Radio and Television Corporation), the letters function as a proper name; knowing the letters gives no direct semantic clue, so it is opaque.

Etymology

The name TRT comes from the first letters of Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon, which in English means 'Turkish Radio and Television', and this is the national public broadcaster of Turkey. So, TRT refers to the country's main radio and TV company.
